Students distressed that Halloween festivities are over can transform themselves once again using gallons of paint at one of the fall semester’s most anticipated events, which returns to campus tonight.
The Residential Hall Association will host its annual Splatterbeat event, where students can enjoy loud music with their friends while covered in paint, on the Parade Ground tonight from 7:30 to 10:30 p.m.
At the event, which is open to the entire LSU community, students will be able to drum to music on trash can lids loaded with 140 gallons of paint provided by RHA.
Students should wear white in preparation to be splattered with paint. The first 500 students will receive a 2011 Splatterbeat T-shirt.
RHA began collecting song requests last week from students for music to play tonight. Some of the requests included music by Skrillex, Deadmau5, Bassnectar and LMFAO.
As of Sunday, 217 students have said they will attend on the event’s Facebook page.
The event brought nearly 800 students when it was first held in 2009.
